I love the bot animals in 6.1.

Post by Col Klink »

Very cool I saw some in one DM game and these critters like to attack with some cool weapons. I had some problems joining a few DM's but maybe my dialup connection was the main problem. I created a few DM's and when no players joined soon found adding some bot units got gave me some cool action even had a few players join from time to time. I like the map options quite a lot. Zero gravity is very usual though and the damage level setting is very cool. Thanks for creating this version; I actually love playing 6.1. Kudos to zee developers.

Yea 1.3 is cool.

But, animals have been around since PB3 or before, and damage modifier too. Gravity was added PB4 IIRC.

Those things arn't new to 6.1, they've been there for years...:D

Strange, I got a PM with the exact same thing in it...

Simple. Vearie hates the bots and the animals. The only question is did BNG post the dribble first and Vearie just quote it or visa-verse.

Really it is irrelevant. Only one of the animals even has a 'weapon' as it is.

But still, why would he PM that to me. I have had nothing to do with this thread until now. And if he doesn't like the bots, why not just turn them off?

Also this thread is a few month old and I got the PM 2 days ago. So Vearie copied this post.

Because he does stuff like that. No one said he was a sane man.

It wasn't me I don't use PM's anymore. FYI: I haven't really played much 1.3 so animals are pretty much new to me; I pretty much lost interest in 1.3 after the slough of public betas overwelmed my interest.

I've played mostly 1.2 FE offline for that matter. Also, apparently unlike Veary I don't play head games with other online players when I do play online. Which is why I gave up playing 1.2 online too many players like to cheat in game. Beta 6 is pretty cool though and I look forward to pummeling you all in to the ground. :lol:

Nielk1 was saying that Vearie sent the PM, copied word-for-word from your post.

I hate those animals on one of the GH maps. They come from behind you and kill all your service trucks.

Say, can Ice Rhinos kill you? Aside from you ramming your ship or pilot into them.
I remember that on one Bane map, the commander told you to be wary of ice rhinos or something.

Considering it was a brand new planet they've never been on before and they had to name the animal themselves, I doubt they had any data on it.

That is the Surprise map. The animals are called Drakes. They are hatches from eggs around the map.

Sounds like it makes playing the map quite a challenge. Are the Drakes different from the Scrap Beasts? I also found the weapons linking feature very useful for offing enemies much more rapidly. The DM bots don't really seem to use this cool feature.
